Resuming topics and foci
Left peripheral topics and foci often differ with respect to resumption: in languages such as Italian, Tzotzil Maya, and Warlpiri, while fronted topics may be co-indexed with a pronominal form in the corresponding argument position, fronted foci correspond to a gap. However, this contrast does not universally apply. In languages such as Anyi and Baule, two Kwa languages of Côte d’Ivoire, subjects and animate objects must be resumed by a pronoun w…
Reflexos fonológicos da ênfase em línguas Kwa da Costa do Marfim
Este artigo examina as características fonológicas de expressões que portam ênfase, insistência e contraste em algumas línguas Kwa da Costa do Marfim. Nosso interesse particular é revelar como tais fenômenos são realizados em línguas tonais, e consideramos que valeria a pena estudar mais de uma língua para circunscrever o estudo a um grupo intimamente relacionado. Neste grupo, uma variedade de estratégias fonológicas é utilizada para marcar a ênf…

Ega
Ega is an endangered language spoken in the south-central region of Côte d'Ivoire, in Divo Department. The precise number of speakers is not known at present; the 14th Ethnologue (Grimes 2000) reports 291 to 3,000, and notes that 'the ethnic group is growing, but they are shifting to the Dida language because of intermarriage and other influences'. Our own preliminary and impressionistic work suggests the number of Ega speakers to be closer to th…
Prosodic domains in Baule
This paper deals with the domains of some phonological rules of Baule, a Bia language of the Central Tano group (Stewart 1989) spoken in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. Like the other languages in this group, Baule has phonological Low and High tones, and a Low tone lowers the register of following High tones – the phenomenon widely referred to as downdrift. But Baule is distinguished from other members of the Central Tano group (and, indeed, from ot…
